Susan, the irony is that the painting on the wall is one of my friend's oil paintings. The girl in red is my daughter. The area above the kitchen cabinets is from my daughters house. The furniture and decoration that did not come from the 3D ware house came straight from IKEA. IKEA knows when I am doing a low budget project because I skulk through the store with my digital camera. The shield on the wall is from a Sikh warrior. My client was a Sikh, but I don't think he noticed. I think he is more an MBA than a warrior Sikh. Very nice guy to work with. I have distances and angles to objects roughly worked out when I go on my photo safaris so I am in the ball park for adding things to the render. If I am not spot on, I can do a little warping in PS. That foreground palm was also IKEA.
I am also looking to actually do some interior design for higher end clients, but I do not have that level of relationship building going just yet.
Oh, and to fill out the list of supporting cast, on the Phoenix Condo site in the bird eye interior the dog sleeping on the carpet is my terrier Cacique.
